[CLUE-Tech] Mozilla 0.7 Web Browser Problems/Fixes

[Jim Intriglia]

"The connection was refused when attempting to connect to <yahoo.com, 
bellco.org)"

Get the same message with those two sites, yet no problem with NS/Linux 
V4.74.

Perhaps this is related to a Red Hat V6.2 quirk. I did find a reference to 
an early NS 6 and Hotmail problem due to root permissions being set on a 
file prevent users from accessing Hotmail when NS was installed as root.
